We just have some questions about the luggage restrictions because of the size and the type of the bags permitted on their planes. We bought the Kipling brand bags on a Medium size (I believe it's called the Teagan M) do any of you know if this works out? Can we bring bigger bags? Can we have this bag plus a regular carry on??
